Case: Discrimination/Race Discrimination (W.D.N.C.)

A North Carolina federal district court granted summary judgment to Carolina Speech and Hearing on claims of race discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 brought by a Black patient care coordinator who alleged failure to promote, wrongful termination, and retaliation, finding that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the employer’s stated reason for termination—poor job performance—was pretextual, and that her complaints about unfair treatment did not constitute protected activity because they did not reference discrimination.
